Nature reflects our nature
A Letter to Mother Nature
Dear Nature,
Hello from this side. I hope you are well (though I don’t have the right to ask after what we humans
have done to you but couldn’t hold myself without asking). I want to tell you a little secret; when I was
small I used to feel you on my every breath, I used to water you every morning, I used to feel the
warmth of your rays but now I just smell carbon, water plastics and get burned every time I try to feel
you. Can I ask you a question? Are you angry with me? Have you stopped loving me? I just know one
thing that I have never stopped being in love with you.
I know you too have a lot of questions and an honest answer to it is, I want to slide in your lap and
have a peaceful nap forgetting whatever has happened between us. You know I love being with you
more than I love being with humans. And believe me or not every time you were torn I felt the pain and
when you were burned I was scathed too. I can feel, hear your joy with the whistle you blow through
the wind (you know it’s the best way, didn’t you?). You were the only one that stayed with me through
my whole journey, when I was happy when I was angry and even when I was sad. I know I haven’t
done enough to deserve you but don’t you think everyone should get a second chance? So, today,
I want to thank you for being there, just not for me, but for everybody, for giving us our lives (even
though we don’t deserve it after what we have done and have been doing to you) and blessing us with
a beautiful place to live.
Today, I bind myself with you by promising you that I will forever and ever be loyal to you. No matter
how many crisis, ups and downs we will have I promise to hold our relationship for centuries. My dear
friend it’s time to say goodbye (though bidding goodbye is not my favorite part), will be catching up with
you tomorrow. See you in the first sunrise of every morning.
Your stupid little Human
